THE SECRETARYS JOKE.

Probably no man has ever filled the
presidential Office with so little sense
of wit and humor as Mr.. Hayes. On
one occasion a story was told in his
presence to illustrate the want of real
pride in the South concerning the ne
gro, The person stated that at a certain
tavern a number of the chivalry were
gathered around, when an old negro
drove up with a bale of cotton on a
rickety wagon drawn by a mule
rs that your cotton, Ben ?" cried one
of the chivalry.
Yes, massa; | done made it all my
self"
And clean it, too, Benz"
Yes, massa; and I done plant it and
pick and clean it, too; and now l am
going to sell il"
well, Ben, don't you think you
ought to treat?'
Yes, massa, | can treat"
Whereupon all those idle chivalry
went into the bar, and the poor negro
set up the drinks on his one bale of cot
ton. When the story had been told
Mr. Evarts dryly said:
well that was a shame, to make
him gin his cotton twice"
Nearly everybody laughed except
Mr.. Hayes, the president; and one dull
fellow sitting by him, said:
4 do not think caught that joke .
"Nell," said President Hayes, with
thoughtful politeness, turning to this
person, the Secretary Of State remark
ed that the process of cleaning cotton
which takes some time, had been done
by this negro man so thoroughly that
he had gone over it twice"
The expression on Evarts's face was
that there was so much civil-service re
form in that administration that even
has jokes had to pass a school examin-
alton.

gan galloping around in a circle and
giving utterance to snorts OF rage. Lit
struck me all at once that l ought to
take advantage of the situation to Sc
cure my gun. l started to descend,
but it seems that the tiger had his
ewes on me. He left the back of the
rhinoceros and came for me with great
bounds, and made haste back to my
perch. The rhinoceros followed him
to the tree, and for ten minutes per-
severed in his attacks, the tiger now
growing and showing his teeth, and
apparently becoming annoyed He
several times leaped to the back OF
the beast and clawed at him IN the
fiercest manner. but | doubt if he in
ficted much injury through the tough
hide The rhinoceros stepped on the
stock of my rife and crushed it, and l
knew then that | was doomed to an
all-night watch on the platform with
only the knife to defend myself
After ten or fifteen minutes of hard
work, without accomplishing anything
in the way of besetting the tiger, the
rhlnoceros got some sense IN his head
and moved on into the jungle, where
he thrashed about IN an ugly way for
a long time. The tiger soon showed
by his actions that he wanted me very
badly. He uttered furious growls,
clawed at the bark of the tree, and
made several springs which brought
him within arms length of the plat
form. He had just fallen back from
one of these bounds when he uttered
a sound so unlike all others which pre-
coded it that my attention was at once
| attracted. I made out in an instant
that he had been seized by large
| serpant. For aught know, the snake
| may have been curled on one of the
| great lower limbs of my own tree.
There were plenty of dead leaves and
other refuse under the tree, and the
parties to the struggle kicked up such
| cloud OF dust that | could not always
get a clear view of them. [ made out
| that the snake, which was probably a
boa, had succeeded in getting a turn
or two around the tiger, while the lat
ter was using his teeth and claws IN
| the most vigorous manner to free him
self. They rolled about for three or
four minutes, and then the tiger be
gan whining exactly like a defeated
dog. This eliminated in a long drawn
wall, and then / knew that the boa
mad gained a victory. | saw him
moving the body around, but present
ly he drew it into the shadow, and l
heard sounds to indicate that he was
making off with it. My defenseless
position took my courage away, and
what did L do but descend and head
for the village. That ever reached
it was considered a miracle, for the
jungle through which | passed seem
ed alive with wild beasts. What i
knew was cowardice on my part was
taken by all the others to be the feat
of man who could not feel what fear
was Next day we returned to the
pool, but found neither snake nor
tiger, and the rhinoceros had also
taken himself away.

Going out OF the car the other day
saw bright little miss of my acquaint-
ance with library book in ner daintily
gloved hand, and, noticing the title was
that OF rather abstruse subject, said:
wv by. my dear, you select very deep
literature for your reading; had no
idea you were so studious." She an
swered: 20, is it? Well, | did not
know what,to get, and so took this, as
the cover compared so beautifully with
my hat. Did you ever see more per-
feet match?' -Spriaqfe}d Homestead.

Dan Rice on Jay Gould.

Jim Fisk, JAY Gould, and l came
near being partners, but Fisk died.
Why, 1 recoiIect story of Jay Gould
that goes to show that as the twig is bent
the trees incIined-the inclinations of
the boy are the doings and character of
the man. When Gould was a boy in
pantaloons and jacket one day he had
five cents, and passing pie-shop saw
nice cherry pic in the window. 1t
made his mouth water, and he went in
and the woman said ten cents. SO
when her back was turned he put his
fingers in it and mussed the pie up,
then he went IN and bought it for a
nickel. That's what he's been doing
ever since.

DR.. S. Weir Mitchell, who assisted
at the banquet to the College of Ply
sicians, of which he is president, is al
most as well known as araconteur as lie
Is as a physician. One of his stories
is personal experience which occur
red during the war. Reports OF cruel
ty to Confederate prisoners confined
IN the military prison at Fort Della
ware were sent to the Federal head
quarters, and a committee of gentle
men, among whom was DIR. Mitchell,
visited the prison to investigate the
matter. The reports were found to
be exaggerated and most of the pris-
oners limited their complaints to an
insufficient supply of tobacco One
OF the men, whose uniform showed
him to be an officer, said he had been
granted his exchange, but had no
money to return to his home. DR.
Mitchell emptied his pockets and gave
HIM $50. 'To whom am [ indebted
for this loan," inquired the officer
DIR. Mitchell told him his name. but
| added, Never mind where [ live; give
| 1t to the next Union soldier you find
who needs it as badly as you do, and
viii consider that sufficient pay
ment," The doctor returned to Phila-
dephia, the war came to an end and
he had forgotten the incident of the
rebel prisoner, when one day strang-
er, dressed in the uniform of a Union
soldier, entered his Office and inquired
if he was Dr. Mitchell. The doctor
said he was. Or S. Weir Mitchell 2
the man asked again. 'The same
said the doctor" Then | have some
money to return to you which YOU
lent me through a Confederate
officer you found in prison at Fort
Delaware. He gave it to me to paw
my way back to the North" and the
man handed the surprised doctor $50

There is more Catarrh in this section
Of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years Doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing 30 cure with
local treatment pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven Catarrh to be a con-
stitutional disease, and therefore requires
a constitutional treatment. Halls Ca.
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J..
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure now on the market.

drops to teaspoonfuI. 1t acts directly

The preservation Of eggs.-In Au-
stralia eggs are preserved in the fol
lowing simple manner: The vessels,
IN which the eggs are to be placed,
are glass jars with patent shoppers,
yulcanized india-rubber joints making
them perfectly air tight. As soon as
the eggs have been collected, the Jars
are stood in hot water for some time,
and left until the air in them has be
come thoroughly warm and rarefed.
The jars having been heated, the eggs
are wrapped up in paper to prevent
them knocking together, and placed
IN the warm receptacles, their pointed
ends being uppermost. The jars are
Immediately closed up, and then, and
not until then, are removed from the
hot water 1t is said if this process Is
skilfully carried out, the eggs Will be
as fit for the breakfast table as the
day they were laid, many months after
they We're put in the jars. The great
secret Of success in carrying out this
method is, no doubt, to thoroughly heat
the air in the Jars. The eggs viii
stand a better chance of keeping il

The unprecedented sale of Boschoe's
German Syrup within few years, has
astonished the world. 1t is without
doubt the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and effectual
cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest
Lung troubles. It acts on an entirely
different principle from the usual pre-
scriptions given by Physicians, as it does
not dry up Cough and leave the dis
ease still in the system, but on the con
trary removes the cause of the trouble,
heals the parts affected al d leaves them
in healthy condition. a bottle hert in

their appearance, will save doctors bills
